For larger molecules like proteins we use polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). For smaller pieces like DNA we use agarose gel electrophoresis
The gel typically used in electrophoresis experiments is agarose gel.
Gel Electrophoresis
The absence of bands in gel electrophoresis can be caused by factors such as improper loading of samples, insufficient DNA concentration, or issues with the gel or electrophoresis equipment.
The gel used in gel electrophoresis is a porous material that helps separate DNA, RNA, or proteins based on their size and charge when an electric current is applied.
The bands in gel electrophoresis represent different sizes of DNA fragments.
Agarose gel electrophoresis.
The gel typically used in electrophoresis experiments is agarose gel.
Gel Electrophoresis
In gel electrophoresis, DNA moves through the gel matrix from the negative electrode to the positive electrode.
yes for example 2D gel electrophoresis
Before gel electrophoresis, techniques like paper electrophoresis and agarose slab gel electrophoresis were used for separating and analyzing DNA or proteins. These methods were less efficient and had lower resolution compared to gel electrophoresis.
To learn more about gel electrophoresis, one can Google it. There is also a whole Wikipedia article dedicated to gel electrophoresis, and it happens to be quite informative.

Horizantal gel electrophoresis is generally used for RNA/DNA based studies, while vertical gel electrophoresis is used for protein based studies.
During gel electrophoresis, DNA pieces migrate from the top of the gel towards the bottom because they are negatively charged and are attracted to the positive electrode at the bottom of the gel.
